Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Arising from the Heart, Sin as the Flame (First Update)

In an instant, the so-called experts rushing over were all shattered to pieces.

The blood mist drifted in the half air of the banquet hall, staining those close by with blood all over their bodies.

Yet no one bothered to wipe it off.

That’s because everyone was stunned by the ghastly and aesthetically gruesome scene.

Xue An stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Cheng Jinshi opposite him and said indifferently, “Any more?”

Cheng Jinshi’s body trembled, and he said in a terrified despair, “You… you… .”

He never dreamed that this man who appeared out of nowhere could be so formidable.

Without even making a move, he had caused the death of all these experts nurtured by his family.

“If not, then go to die!”

Bang!

The Family Head of the Cheng Family wanted to say something more, but with a muffled sound, his head also exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The corpse collapsed to the ground.

Everyone gasped and took several steps back.

The faint-hearted couldn’t even stand any longer and slumped to the ground with a thud.

The Cheng Family was the undisputed number one noble family of Black Iron City, and Cheng Jinshi had been in charge of the family for decades.

Yet such a significant figure had died without even uttering a plea for mercy.

The prompt and decisive killing left everyone in the hall aghast.

At this moment, Xue An frowned slightly with a hint of annoyance and then sighed.

“I forgot something, I didn’t even tell you why I wanted to kill you!”

The people listening felt their hair stand on end, and those near the doorway wanted to sneak away.

But as soon as they reached the door and took one step, their entire beings silently disintegrated into nothingness.

This eerie and terrifying spectacle completely dissuaded those left from thinking of escape.

Meanwhile, Cheng Jinyi stepped forward with determination on his face and bowed to Xue An.

“Sir, the Cheng Family admits defeat and only asks that you show mercy and spare us,” Cheng Jinyi said. “The Cheng Family is willing to follow you as their leader!”

No one dared to speak.

Everyone watched Cheng Jinyi bowing silently, and those with a quicker wit had already guessed his thoughts.

If anyone in the Cheng Family was happy now, it would undoubtedly be Cheng Jinyi.

As the Second in Command of the Cheng Family, he was always overshadowed by the Family Head.

As long as Cheng Jinshi was alive, there would be no chance for him to rise to the top.

Moreover, the power of Cheng Liangyu was growing stronger.

All this had gradually extinguished Cheng Jinyi’s ambition to vie for power and profit.

However, today, Cheng Jinshi and his son had both died.

Thus it was logical that Cheng Jinyi would become the new Family Head of the Cheng Family.

Given such a temptation, he naturally chose to surrender and admit his guilt immediately.

Because as long as he could save his own life, he would be the greatest beneficiary.

Yet facing his surrender, Xue An had remained silent, just watching quietly.

Not until sweat appeared on Cheng Jinyi’s forehead did Xue An finally speak indifferently, “Are you very happy now?”

Cheng Jinyi quivered and then raised his face, saying very sincerely, “Yes, Sir!”

Cheng Jinyi was a clever man; while he couldn’t discern Xue An’s origin, he could tell he was a peerless warrior.

In front of such a person, it was best not to play any tricks; being frank was the optimal choice.

Indeed.

Xue An smiled.

“You are clever!”

A trace of joy flashed in Cheng Jinyi’s eyes, then he bowed deeply, “In the presence of such a powerful person as yourself, it’s only right to remain humble and honest.”

“But I killed your brother and nephew, don’t you feel sad?” Xue An said indifferently.

Cheng Jinyi gently shook his head, “To oppose a formidable figure like you, they have only themselves to blame for everything. No one else is at fault!”

Xue An nodded his head upon hearing this, “Well said!”

Cheng Jinyi secretly let out a sigh of relief, believing he had made the correct gamble and couldn’t help but feel secretly fortunate.

Brother, oh brother!

You, wise for a lifetime, were foolish in a moment. How could you become so muddled by the death of a son as to oppose a peerless powerhouse! But it’s better that you’re dead; only then can I take control of the Cheng Family.

While he was feeling proud of himself.

Xue An spoke indifferently: “Since you’re so smart, do you know why I killed them?”

Cheng Jinyi was startled, then said with a flattering smile, “Does a powerful figure like you need a reason to kill? I….”

He couldn’t finish his sentence.

Because Xue An was quietly watching him, his gaze tinged with a trace of ridicule.

Unknowingly, Cheng Jinyi started to feel his back soaked with cold sweat.

After a short pause, Xue An retracted his gaze and spoke in a cold voice, “Because they thought themselves so high and mighty, they wantonly trampled on others! What I did was to make them understand that people must always pay the due price for their actions!”

Cold sweat formed on Cheng Jinyi’s face even more, he couldn’t even wipe it away in time, and could only force a smile as he said, “What you say is true!”

“Then tell me, what price do you think you should pay?”

Cheng Jinyi was trembling slightly, but still tried to maintain his composure as he said, “My lord, even if you annihilate both me and the Cheng Family, new families will emerge. It’s inevitable. So, it’s better to spare me. I promise I will stay humble in the future.”

Having said that, Cheng Jinyi quietly looked at Xue An.

All he saw was Xue An, who showed neither sadness nor joy, and no emotional fluctuations could be discerned.

This caused Cheng Jinyi to swallow hard, thinking about what else to say.

Xue An gave a faint smile.

“That seems to make sense!”

Cheng Jinyi felt his heart, which had been in suspense, relax a little.

But the next words from Xue An made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Unfortunately, people must always pay the price for their actions, no matter who they are!”

“No!” Cheng Jinyi sensed danger and turned to flee.

But just as he took a step, a strand of flame arose from beneath his feet, spreading rapidly.

Cheng Jinyi began to scream.

Xue An watched quietly, then said indifferently, “This flame has ignited from within your soul. All the sins you’ve committed will serve as its fuel!”

“Aaahhh!” Cheng Jinyi screamed wretchedly, then roared with extreme resentment, “Don’t get too carried away! The Silver Council won’t let you get away with killing us!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame suddenly surged, immediately engulfing Cheng Jinyi, then reducing him to nothingness.

Seeing this, all those haughty and reckless scions from great houses, who usually acted high and mighty, were cowering far away, not even daring to raise their heads to look at Xue An.

Xue An glanced at the group, then casually waved his hand.

A wisp of flame rushed over.

“Aaahhh!”

Many of them were devoured by the flames instantly, with some screaming, “Who are you, exactly?”

As Xue An stepped outside, he responded without looking back, “Me? I am your retribution!”

Boom!

The flames burned even more fiercely.

In an instant, the banquet hall suffered a great many casualties.

Only a very few remained standing in place, their faces pale as they watched it all.

Just as Xue An had said, these flames emerged from the heart; sin was their fuel.

On this day.

The nobles of Black Iron City suffered countless deaths and injuries, barely one in ten survived.

News spread, and the world was shaken by it.
